Stop by the Frontiers of Flight Museum, 6911 Lemmon Ave, on Thursday Sept. 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and get a chance to throw whip cream pies at Cheryl Sutterfield-Jones, Frontiers of Flight Museum CEO, as a fun way to generate awareness for North Texas Giving Day. A donation to the Museum via North Texas Giving Day gets you one big helping of whipped cream and a chance to #PieThePrez (fat and sugar free, of course!). Oh, and did we mention guests will get free admission all day?
Representatives will be standing by with iPads ready to help folks submit their donations to the Museum through the North Texas Giving Day website: https://northtexasgivingday.org/npo/frontiers-of-flight-museum. Online donations through the North Texas Giving Day website may be made anytime between 6 am and midnight.
The Museum has received a $25,000 challenge grant for North Texas Giving Day. For every $1 donated on North Texas Giving Day, the Museum will receive $1 in matching funds up to the first $25,000 raised.
Jess Hall, VP Development, Zahra Perez, Development/Major Gifts Officer, and Jeremy Clardy, Content Manager with Dickie+Associates, will be at the WFAA Day Break at 4:45 a.m. to kick off North Texas Giving Day with a Party on the Plaza.
